Q-1 - Can I buy the RF antenna only? Q-2 - Will the antenna for the H25 work with a Standard Directv receiver

I have Direct TV and use the remote for that mainly but I also use it to navigate the channels I get through the antenna.

I did not purchase the antenna, but the remote works for our antenna channels. This remote worked with our DirecTV satellite. It was very responsive to our 9 year old Samsung box.

(You might want to note that for some strange reason this question is mistakenly being sent to people like me that bought the regular DirecTV "RC65" IR remote, not this IR/RF remote. That is why some think "antenna" refers to receiving broadcast stations over an antenna, entirely unrelated to this remote's IR antenna.)

you have to use the code provided by URC. It will be relatively easy. Just make sure the DirecTv remote isn't in RF mode.

I know for a fact that it will not work in RF mode for H23 and earlier. Works great on H24 and newer. This is the latest greatest remote so beware.....it will work on all receivers in IR mode.

This dish will not support HD, so that receiver will work great....same one I use. I use mine at Camp in the mountains and the dish works great, it is small and easy to set up quick. I do suggest that you look at purchasing a Satellite Finder Meter For Directv to make the set up quicker, the one I purchased was made by Satellite Finder, sold by Smartie Store on Amazon, only $8.99. You may want a tri pod or pole to mount the dish for ease as well.

yes, you need antenna and antenna is not included. You could by a very cheap rabbit antenna. Do not buy any costly antenna, because it will not make any difference.

I suppose you can always get one that won't work, but The one I have works great. I have one for my RV and I really haven't had any problems as long as it can be setup properly at the camp site. You will of course have to register it with Directv before it will work.

Only compatible with standard definition receivers like the D12, R16, H20 thru H24. Also note that if you have an H25 HD receiver or Genie, these receivers are only SWM compatible (you will need a SlimLine SWM dish) and will not work with a standalone 18" round dish.

I'm not sure. It would make sense to get the HD antenna & receiver. If you ask Dish HD will be free.

Sorry, it's at my cabin in N.C. and probably won't be up there before Christmas. For any you are looking at, they should be able to give you the ID#, then just call Directv and they will tell you if it is programmable. and yes, I learned by getting one then finding out it was still an "active" receiver and could not be programmed.

This remote will work with any DirecTV box. You only have to go into the DirecTV "remote" settings under the MENU to change the frequency from "IR" to "RF".

Hello and thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee that this item will work with an over air antenna. I am sorry and if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

I just recently bought one of these to use with my H24 receiver. The dish comes with a single cable to connect to the receiver, meaning it will operate a single tuner.

No. Antenna only. But uses standard F connector cables which you can get from Radio Shack or if you want better quality for less, Amazon.

Worse case scenario your directv box does not support RF. The good news is the RF remotes can still be set to IR if necessary.

For most HDTV channels, a basic UHF antenna is fine. In a few cases some stations (for example KTVT and WFAA in Dallas) broadcast HDTV signal on VHF, in which case you would an antenna that can receive both UHF and VHF. Basically, it depends on where in the country you are and what frequencies your local market broadcasters are using.Besides an antenna, you shouldn't "need" anything else, but if you want to get high definition picture on a HDTV compatible set, you will also need a component video cable (usually has red green and blue connectors on it). This unit only comes with composite video cable (yellow) which can only carry standard definition composite video. For most HDTV channels, a basic UHF antenna is fine.

I'm not sure, I am not sure what an HR34/700 receiver is. I have Dish and mine is hooked up with the receiver. Sorry best I can do.
